History of the breed
The Jamora rabbit is a fairly young breed of rabbit. It was Dr. Bernhard Thimm from Dornstadt , as well as Barbara Bauerschmidt and Johannes Heldt from Blaustein near Ulm . The goal of these breeders was to create a small, long-haired breed of rabbits that stood out for their appearance. The breeders mentioned used Angora rabbits , ermine rabbits and Japanese rabbits to breed the new breed . After animals corresponding to the breeding goal were received for the first time in 1985, the Jamora rabbit was shown for the first time in 1990 in Nuremberg . Recognition by the Central Association of German Rabbit Breeders took place in 1994.
